The Scheme will provide additional rail capacity through Manchester. 1.1.2 The Scheme forms part of a wider range of projects to increase rail capacity, known as the Northern Hub. The aim of the Northern Hub is to stimulate economic growth by improving the rail network in the north of England and to meet expected growing demand for rail travel over the next 30 to 60 years. Although the Scheme is part of a wider package of projects within the Northern Hub, this Scheme is a standalone project, for which funding for its delivery has been secured. 1.1.3 The purpose of this TA is to assess the impact of the Scheme on the surrounding transport network. This will help to maximise the benefits and also to identify mitigation measures to minimise any negative impacts. The TA supports the Traffic and Transport chapter of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). 1.1.4 This TA has been prepared in accordance with the Department for Transport ‘Guidance on Transport Assessments’ (2007). 1.2 Implementation 1.2.1 The EIA is required to consider the construction and operational impacts of the Scheme. To support the review of impacts in the EIA, supporting reports are provided. The TA has been scoped out of the Environmental Statement. 1.2.2 The TA considers the impact of the Scheme during construction (between 2016 and 2018) and following the commencement of its operation (beyond 2018). 1.3 Stakeholder Consultation A number of stakeholders have been consulted during the development of the TA. Stakeholders consulted include: x Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM); and x Manchester City Council (MCC). 1.3.1 The scope of the TA and methodology was discussed with TfGM and MCC at a meeting on the 19th November 2013. Further meetings have been held during the development of the TA. NHE_127523-8460-COL-C1-RTR-W-000046 Prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff May 2014 for Network Rail - 9 - Manchester Piccadilly and Oxford Road Capacity Scheme Transport Assessment 1.4 Background to the Project 1.4.1 The Scheme includes the extension of Manchester Oxford Road Station and the construction of two new through running platforms at Manchester Piccadilly Station. 1.4.2 For the purpose of the TWAO the study area has been split into two areas: Area 1 = Piccadilly Station Area 2 = Oxford Road Station Area 1: Manchester Piccadilly Station Proposals 1.4.3 Proposals at Manchester Piccadilly include construction of two new ‘through running’ platforms adjacent to the existing Platforms 13 and 14. Area 2: Oxford Road Station Proposals 1.4.4 Proposals at Oxford Road Station include the extension of the existing platforms, with viaduct widening between Oxford Road and Albion Street. 1.4.5 Construction is programmed to take place between 2016 and 2018. This TA considers the construction requirements and impacts. 1.5 Site Location 1.5.1 The study area stretches along the southern edge of Manchester City Centre. The predominant land uses within the site include railway infrastructure, surface car parking, commercial and residential. 1.5.2 The River Medlock runs through the site. 1.5.3 Figure 1-1 shows the location of the Scheme. This shows the main study area for the TA. The study area has been selected as it is the main area that is impacted by the scheme.

NHE_127523-8460-COL-C1-RTR-W-000046 Prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff May 2014 for Network Rail - 11 - Manchester Piccadilly and Oxford Road Capacity Scheme Transport Assessment 2 POLICY CONTEXT AND PLANNED LOCAL TRANSPORT SCHEMES 2.1 National Policy A Future for Transport: A Network for 2030 2.1.1 The Department for Transport’s White Paper sets out the Government’s strategy for transport up to 2030. The publication of this White Paper seeks to bring about improvements to all modes of transport through the creation of a coherent network. It focuses on three key themes of sustained investment, making improvements to transport management and planning ahead. 2.1.2 In the context of the Piccadilly and Oxford Road Station improvements, the Scheme is providing significant improvements to the region’s rail network; however it is important to plan ahead for anticipated transport impacts during the construction period. National Planning Policy Framework (2012) 2.1.3 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) replaced the previous planning Policy Statements and Planning Policy Guidance used to regulate planning applications. 2.1.4 The document states the need for a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment to support developments likely to generate significant numbers of trips. It suggests that development should take advantage of opportunities for sustainable travel, facilitated by a travel plan. 2.1.5 In the context of Piccadilly and Oxford Road Station improvements, whilst it is not anticipated that the scheme will generate additional numbers of trips post construction, assessment is needed to consider generated construction traffic and reduced network capacity. Guidance on Transport Assessments (March 2007) 2.1.6 This document leads on NPPF, providing information on how to prepare a transport assessment. 2.1.7 The paper outlines the need for the TA to encourage sustainable access and mitigate residual impacts of vehicles. It states that the goal of a TA is to estimate the impacts of the development and improve accessibility and safety for all modes, putting the focus on public transport, walking and cycling. This guidance leads the methodology that has been utilised in this TA. 2.2 Local Policy and Strategy Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan 3 2.2.1 The third Local Transport Plan (LTP3) for Greater Manchester sets out the transport strategy and objectives for Greater Manchester from 2011 to 2026. 2.2.2 There is significant support for Northern Hub within the LTP3, with continuous references to the scheme throughout the document in terms of improving connectivity across the North West region and increasing the attractiveness of rail travel. 2.2.3 The LTP3 states that the Northern Hub improvements ‘are critical towards the end of the decade, as this would yield long term economic benefits for the whole area.’ NHE_127523-8460-COL-C1-RTR-W-000046 Prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff May 2014 for Network Rail - 12 - Manchester Piccadilly and Oxford Road Capacity Scheme Transport Assessment 2.2.4 The following objectives within the LTP3 are of particular relevance to the Piccadilly and Oxford Road Station improvements and the effects of the scheme: x To ensure that the transport network supports the Greater Manchester economy; x Prioritised investment in cost-effective major transport investment that will create maximum economic benefit; x Delivery of lower carbon transport options; x Increased levels of walking in Greater Manchester; x A network of safe cycle routes in support of increased cycling in Greater Manchester; and x Efficiency and reliability of current networks. Mayfield Strategic Regeneration Framework (Aug 2013) 2.2.5 The Mayfield Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) outlines proposals for a mix used-redevelopment of Mayfield on land bounded by A6 London Road and Fairfield Street.
